Alice in Wonderland Preview

The Devils Advocate

Al Pacino. Be still my beating heart. What a mighty fine man, I mean demon err devilman attorney at law. Who knows who he is, except the use - BADASS!! Even in 3 inch heals the guy has me swooning.. Mostly because of his swaga and style. The dialogue aint that bad either. No really, this movie is really well scripted, like the bible or any other popular book people are reading these days. Well, scripted is one, well acted is another. Tis indeed well acted. With Keanu breaking away from being 'the one' true love of Sandra in Speed and becoming the kinda of manly spawn of satan we know him to be. Charlize Theron does an excellent job being in love and also being an insane B!! The story line in this film is really a fun ride! We go from the twang of Gainsville to the infinity pools atop the towers in NYC! Gotta make a note here, if your like many of the peeps I know, you may be the type to do more than on thing while enjoying a film or ten. If so, pay close attention to the dressing room scene when Charlize has the opportunity to test out a new friends boobies; "real or not real, feel - thats the true test". its in this scene that i grew as a movie watcher... not the boobs you sicko, NO! the greatness of the direction here and the choices made concerning the demonic introduction is really mind blowing.. or at least it was in 1834 when this movie was made. Check er out!

Better Trailer for JB

this is the trailer that i wanted to post yesterday and I think I may have posted a less awesome one... so check this out.

Jennifer's Body

Totally excited to see this pelicula!! I'll admit at first I was incredibly skeptical! I mean come one, Megan Fox... do anything? Psh! right! However, when I read it was written by Diablo Cody my interest was peaked. So I sought it out and can't begin to tell you how totally intrigued I am! one second your thinking "Hmmm nice, perhaps potential... maybe a comedy-thriller or horror-comedy?!" who knows!! By the end of the trailer you just want more... not of the Foxter but of Amanda Seyfried. yep, gonna admit I have a bit of a thang for the likes of Amanda. I really think she's great! so great in fact I think she may make up for Foxy's inability to act. Plus with the writing being as potentially genius as I think it could be, well this has winner written all over it! No, really!! Check it out!!!

Zombie's Halloween

So I gotta thing for the creepster horror imagine that is the land of Rob Zombies mind!! I loved house of a thousand corpses (which I will write about) I laughed through The Devils Rejects (Which will be bloggified in the near future as well) but most recently I finally watch Halloween. The reason for my tardiness is that I never had the chance to see Halloween in theaters. So the day it came out I bought the directors cut. I thought that my williningness to pick up the directors cut I might save any questions anyone could muster about my Zombie Loyalty. However, the director’s cut is 11 minutes longer than the original and somewhere in those 11 minutes there is a BRUTAL rape scene. And I mean brutal. My brutality meter ranges from lower elements of awkward discomfort where I talk through the scene while watching it, to more intense on scene moments where I actually get up to ‘go to the bathroom’ and come back when I hear the scene change. Only a few times in my life have I ever felt compelled to fast forward or skip a scene entirely. I hardly ever feel awkward enough to ruin any gratuitous moments in a film. However, Very early on in the Halloween, the Directors Cut, there is a rape scene that is so graphic, I actually got up and turned off the movie… completely!! Completely! I ejected it. I put in something else. I never finished the my Rob Zombie horror flick!!! If that doesn’t prove how crazy disturbing it was, nothing will. But, just recently I finally watched the movie. I got up and left the room for a moment to avoid the mind rape of rape but I immediately returned and enjoyed the rest of the Zombie experience. Oh how sweet!!!! I love when Sherri Moon tries to act like a normal person. Well, as normal as you can be when your kid is Michael Myers. She’s just meant to play the messed up, badass, train wreck skank villain that I love to believe she is in the real world! The movie stayed true to the original while also building the horror spectacularly. It was well acted and it had me from creepy child kills his family. I say see it. I say see it before H2 comes to a film palace near you!! I wish I’d watched this one in theaters. It must have been an amazing time. I’d say in theaters, this would be a solid four knees to the face!! Oh it’s so good!! One tiny flaw is the length. Not long enough that it ruined my experience by any means, but afterwards, realizing how long the movie was, I paused and had to admit there was a good 20-30 min of film that wouldn’t be missed. Other then that passing afterthought, I have to say, again, I love Rob Zombies F-d up mind sooooooooo much!!!!! Bring on H2… BRING IT ON I SAY!!!!

Badass movie alert!! Smokin’ Aces is a masterpiece of action/comedy and class with a capital K!! You aren’t gonna see a lot of your green machine peace lovers lining up to buy this dvd. This movie is what I imagine the inside of a dudes mind looks like when they imagine being part of a bloody, kickass video game. So it’s a Tarantino wannabe production. I have no patience for that… But it’s just one so well! Storyline? BAH!! Get on with the killing!! The plot line is basically just the introduction of the hitmen, and boy is it done with the utmost amount of taste. You know what I mean. A close up of bullet casing hitting the ground and a dude wearing cowboy chaps, sporting a mohawk leaps from behind a couch, does a double summersault past four heavily armed guards, taking each of them out while his badass name is blasted across the screen to the latest ‘Skinny Puppy’ track – all in slow motion of course. What more do you need?!? Nada! I can tell you that right now! Lets not forget the walking PDA announcement that is Buddy Israel!! So many of these hitmen, while doing their best to kill Israel, are freaking hysterical!! Additionally the cast is an orchestra of talent and beauty! Lets take example A – Alicia Keys, seen here holding a magnum and remaining smoking hot! Speaking of eye candy, Ryan Reynolds. That is all. Oh my gosh, I can’t say enough! I know this review is pretty useless (and I promise to try harder starting tomorrow) but I had to just jump online and talk about how much this movie rocks! It’s my soup box, I’ll use it as I damn well please!

Take the J.J. Trek

Can’t get the Trek off my mind! I’d been stoked about the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie since the moment I heard the rumors hit the mill. I watched the Next Generation as a kid, then as a semi-adult and finally as a pretend one. So, while the original may not have been my nightly viewing, it was the old timers who starred in all the fantastic films that lined our VHS shelf. Because I was very young when introduced to the wonders of space I should take a moment to thank my mom for introducing me to the tastes of trekster and my brother for keeping me in check. Anywhoseits, this film lives up to the highest of expectations… Mine. I could chat about the amazing cast, filled with a bunch of talented noobs, all of whom handle the backstories and essence of each character solidly enough to establish the oh so quirky and cocky attitudes us trek lovers are expecting from certain characters… Or I could rant about the storyline itself, being a bit of a mindbender at times and oh so perfectly put together and perfected. No! You see I plan on writing my epic response to the film another time. For now, I just wanted to give a shoutie out to J.J. who truly is the star in this trek… just look at the pic on the left!!! It’s so awesome and amazing to just look at!! The action is incredible and he makes the film so much fun! The beautiful sets, the amazing CGI, the red matter, the black holes, the time warps, the camera angles, the special effects, the cast, the crew ALL OF IT!! J.J. just knows how to put it all together, take a peek at cloverfield for another example of his genius. Point is, I Muy muy love it and plan on seeing it at least twice more in theaters as well as picking up my Blu-Ray copy in time for the holidays. If you’ve not seen it, see it. If you’ve seen it, see it again. And F.Y.izzle I consider myself to be a lifetime, hard-core star trek fan. However, I’ve heard rumbles that the purists might not like this film as much as the next guy. I attached a pretty funny video below that goes over those ideas and it’s worth a few laughs


Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable'

can't sleep

still can't sleep. interested to see what movie takes my mind off that for a while. will report back with the latest.

To the person I don't know

So, I got an email from someone who stumbled upon my blog while searching for banana nut bread recipes. I don't ask questions, fate is fate. Anyway she was complaining that I don't give synopsis's for the movies I rant about. No, I don't. I guess I need to explain my reasoning. Amoung the obvious reason of not spoiling things for the reader, I've been trying to get my dad to go to a movie for 25 years. No matter how great a film is, he's still never been in a movie theater with me. What sucks the most is that I can't even tell the man why the film is so great and would change his life foreever. My pop will interrupt me, calling 'mute' the second I go beyond the title. He deems a movie ruined if I tell him what genre it fits into. So, I've had to learn how to describe the awesomeness of films without saying anything about the story line. Additionally, I know few people with the talent and grace to talk about movies without ruining the plot for all within earshot. I admit that I most definitely have the gift, but I would hate to go too far, even once. So, msfx1982, I hope you found your receipe and now you know why I don't give up too much info regarding the films I blab about. You're welcome to comment about the movies, just try not to be the spoiler amoungst the group.

Happy 4th
